Sorry but I guess this time I won't be able to write a report because I have things to arrange for the upcoming semester at university. So it will be just photos and vids from me. BUT if you do have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them!! Or maybe I'll remember a few small things I'd like to share with you.You can find a report on Irene's and Tanja's homepage: http://www.figureskating-online.com/pageID_6609104.htmlAs far as I remember Tanja typed all that while watching!!! :super:

Maybe Eva and/or Nicole would like to share a report with you..!?

Here is another photo some of you might like I took it above all for Joanna, who couldn't be there with us

Oh and I forgot to tell you, in addition to the skaters mentioned above, the following skaters withdrew :brak: Andrei (Tretjakov was coming instead)CarolinaKevinTamarKolbe/RaabeSokolova/Sokolov

Kevin was all ready & looking forward to go, but the Belgian Olympic committee medical person did some test & degreed that he was not yet ready - he really hopes to be at Finlandia!

Thank you so much for the lovely photo of Mark & Chrissie & for passing on my little things - &, having gone back for a second look, I have realised what they are holding!!!!! :incass: They made a very good impression on the judges at their first ever international competition!

Looking forward to hearing (ie. reading!) anything you all have to tell us..... :Soif07:

Well done to Yannick (3rd) & Jenna (4th) on their comebacks in the free skating!

As numerous skaters had their 'premiere performance' - I'm mostly curious about your opinion on some of them ( whose programs surprised you negatively & positively).

I'll try to add this in my report !!

I just posted it in the video section, but I also want to tell you here what I think about Aliona and Robin's costumes

I loved the LP costumes. For me they fit just perfectly!! I see it like that: if you know the movie "Schindler's List" you will know that it's completely in black/white --> that's what Robin symbolizes for me. But in the movie there is just one girl, who wears a red coat and that's Aliona for me. I was very moved when I saw them on the ice!! Concering the SP costumes...I also don't like them very much, but since the music is from "Lost in Space" it might fit

OMG,you made so many pics of David&Kamila......and catched the beginning pose of Tom's SP(I wanted to take so much,but my camera let me down)!!THAAAAAANKS :kissvn8.gif: !!

Ahaha......I had to laugh at the K&C pic of us two!!I think,right in the moment she took the pic I still was about to say something.....before I had the time to pose properly,LOL....well,I like it anyway!! My fav skater-group-pic is the one with Anton,hehe .....not to talk about the Trankov one,hehe .....can't decide which I like more!!Though,the one with Aljona&Robin is so adorable,too^^!!
